Violent crime cases in Anoka require a defense that addresses both the legal elements of the charges and the personal impact on your life and your family. These questions cover the most important details clients want to understand before moving forward.

Details That Matter Most

Felony assault involves substantial bodily harm, use of a weapon, or specific victim categories like law enforcement. Misdemeanor assault typically involves less serious injury or threat, but both require aggressive defense.
What's the difference between felony and misdemeanor assault?
Yes. Minnesota law allows reasonable force to defend yourself or others, and we examine the circumstances, threat level, and your actions to support a self-defense claim.
Can self-defense be used as a legal strategy?
Video evidence can clarify what happened, but it must be reviewed carefully for angles, timestamps, and context. We use footage to challenge prosecution narratives and support your version of events.
How does surveillance footage impact a violent crime case?
Dangerous weapons charges add complexity and potential sentence enhancements. We review possession legality, use during the incident, and whether weapon presence was justified or misrepresented.
What happens if weapons were involved?
Early involvement allows us to preserve evidence, interview witnesses while memories are fresh, and shape the narrative before formal charges are filed in Anoka County court.
Why is early contact important in violent crime cases?
